I bake personally and not only is the lamination top tier, but its design and flavor combinations are out of this world. We got the discord roll, chocolate croissant, Dubai chocolate croissant. The strawberry vanilla with meringue on top was fresh and light. The real vanilla bean pastry cream was delightful. You could see the trademark specs throughout! It's hard to get pastries that aren't tough or go soft mid morning, but these pastries are even better than some I've had in Paris!

These are truly the world's best artichokes, along with amazing snacks, plants, produce, and other delicious treats. Be sure to try the artichoke cupcake with cream cheese frosting. It's similar to zucchini bread, not too sweet, and yes, it actually has artichoke pieces inside. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and happy to answer any questions you may have. They offer artichokes in several sizes (extra small, small, medium, large, and jumbo), along with cooking directions, recipes, and tips. But honestly, these are by far the best artichokes anywhere. The leaves have so much meat on them, it's incredible. I cannot stress enough how amazing they are. What else would you expect from the artichoke capital of the world, from a family that has been doing this for over 80 years? They also sell cheese, fresh produce, spices, oils, jams, honey, homemade loaves of bread, and so much more. It is definitely worth the stop. We usually leave with a huge haul and start counting down the days until our next visit, because nothing else compares. And don't miss the artichoke food truck on site. We had artichoke tacos and deep-fried artichokes with dill dip. Everything was fresh, delicious, and not greasy at all. Stop by and pay them a visit. There is something for everybody.

Do no Farm Roadside…read morefarm stand located at the heart of one of Castroville's many farms, with this one being in business since 1929. This Farm is one of the original (maybe *the* original??) farms that started growing Castroville's famous Italian Green Globe Artichokes. The Good: *Bigger than the usual farmstand, as this place is pretty epic with tons of great stuff from not just their own Farm, but other neighboring farms and other local producers. *As fresh as it gets, as most of the produce is grown from within feet to a few miles away. *Artichoke cupcake was delicious! Seriously. Try it. :) The Meh: *Parking lot is smallish but it's ample. *Service was, well, it got the job done and not much beyond that. The Ugly: *Prices are a little high, but I still always try and buy a few things to support them. Conclusion: Definitely worth a stop if your traipsing thru the Central Coast.

We were able to connect to purchase our primary goal of oysters, which were yummy. Vickie was engaging, answered our questions only about the seafood available to sale but also enjoyed sharing her journey of becoming a seafood monger. We also took advantage of buying freshly caught halibut that she was readily to custom cut for the weight we wanted and added some additional unfamiliar smaller fish great for Filipino broth soup and baking. If we ever head down to Moss Beach for another outing, we'll stop by. Easy and ample parking. Make sure mindful to park in the general public area rather than reserved for only vendors.

I meant to update this review, but forgot. In my previous review, I mentioned that I was keeping my…read moresubscription despite the decline in variety and service because I had purchased bulk king salmon which supposedly they were keeping in storage for me, and I was requesting deliveries of several fillets every couple of months. In March 2024, I received an email saying that they needed to clear out their bulk storage, and I had the option of receiving all of my salmon at once, or with each regular delivery until it's all gone. I was to reply within a week or the remainder of my supply would be donated. I replied saying sure, send some of it with each regular delivery, to which they replied: "Unfortunately, the season has been closed since last year but, we can definitely send Sockeye or Coho salmon instead." Turns out even though I paid for king salmon AND they claimed that they still had it and needed to clear out storage, they actually didn't have the amount all of their members had pre-purchased in storage, due to "quality concerns" beyond a certain period. Which they NEVER gave me any heads up about until this point. So when their email went out, the first handful of people to reply got the rest of the king salmon, and they wanted me to accept a different variety instead. A couple of months and over a dozen emails later, I finally received a refund for the rest of the salmon I thought I had bought. I'm very disappointed in how this situation was handled. While I see that they now explain the terms more clearly for their bulk sales, with the prioritization of ad-hoc sales over regular subscriptions for product variety and quality, I don't see the value of this service anymore compared to buying fish from my local farmer's market.

Never know what you find here or what may be priced for an extreme bargain. You find really weird food items that may be curious to try, odd ice cream brands and flavors you'd never see at Safeway or Trader Joe's - sometimes it'll be meh (sleeping aid ice cream that tastes like garlic) and sometimes it'll be incredible (fatboy cookie & cream). Sometimes these odd items will be the best thing you've ever tasted and you'll come back and clear out their inventory. (at least, me) Overall, the fact that selection changes often is why I love this place and come back often. I only go to Safeway for their awesome parfaits and fresh pineapple now, but Grocery Outlet more fun than grocery shopping should be allowed to be.
